The first story, "Crossed Out" is about a tagger who discovers that not all gangsters die hard. The second entry, "The Scumlord", tells the tale of a foolish Texas oil fortune heir who kills for money but can't afford to stay living. And finally, there's "Rhapsody Askew", a story of a huge rap star who uncovers a few skeletons in his dressing room that try to kick down his door.

24	* TragicKeepsake: After Posie learns what her new power can do, we see that she kept the drawing she had made the night her parents died, still splattered with her mother’s blood. This is what drives her to continue her crusade against the street thugs.
